On the western side of Italy’s Lago di Garda, just up the green slope from the Andre’ Heller Foundation, ground is currently being broken on 'Villa Eden Gardone', an ambitious new residential complex designed by a hot shot roster of international architects.   David Chipperfield, Matteo Thun and Richard Meier have all signed on to design luxury villas that are spread across 78,000 square meters of olive-tree lined hillside. Thun has also been entrusted to design the property’s shared clubhouse which he calls 'the social motor of the whole space'. Built with the same Triple Zero sustainable principles as Thun’s villa, the clubhouse will offer a restaurant, spa, five apartments and a cigar room in addition to serving as the home base for in-villa services. That means the cooking, cleaning, laundering, babysitting and hedge-clipping can all be farmed out by the Club House staff, leaving villa owners to enjoy their lake view properties in headache-free vacation mode. 'By splitting the work, the aesthetics changed,' remarks Thun of the group of architects who were called on to design the 8 properties. 'This means that all of the villas are very individual.' Signa Holding, run by the exceptionally young and deep-pocketed Rene’ Benko, has poured Euro 65 million into the six year development of the project. Homes are currently on sale now and will be completed in 2013. By J.J Martin
